Learning how to read body language, decipher motivation, identify opportunities, and predict human behavior are powerful tools in any profession. As a lawyer, it is especially helpful to have these skills. I also learned the value of research, meeting preparation, and negotiating desired outcomes using contemporaneous decision-making skills in my military career. I was proud to become a lead interrogator responsible for assigning cases, teaching others, and approving final reports. Interrogation training helped me excel in legal research and writing, due diligence, oral advocacy, and client interactions.

I started my legal education in Colombia, but law school in the United States exceeded my expectations. I participated in an international moot court competition relating to international tax in Brussels. It was an eye-opening experience as were my internships at the U.S. Department of Justice Anti-Trust Division in Washington, DC and the Eleventh Circuit Court Civil Division. I served as Symposium Editor for the Business Law Review and was the recipient of the CALI Excellence Award for Professional Responsibility.
